Based off of specs and factoring in optimization, would it be impossible for the new MBA 2018 to handle and edit 4k 60fps in Final Cut Pro?
I think for basic cutting, it’ll likely be fine. The main thing you care about there is playing back without dropping frames and smoothness of moving or scrubbing through the viewer or timeline. Since the CPU has QuickSync that will support 4K resolution, and at (I think) 60fps, that aspect should be pretty fluid, and the actual “software side” of the CPU shouldn’t be working too hard (again, for basic cutting). @joema2 could probably weigh in with a more detailed assessment...
In short,so maybe i would consider getting an egpu for heavier tasks? that way light editing on the go.. then docking at home for major duties

wow that's a lot to think about. but all good to weigh out.. i do have a monitor but it's a little old so i thought about getting a better 4k to connect to the laptop..
